Lost In Translation
Brush
on Bristol, Colored in Photoshop
This was
a piece for my pal Wade's movie column on Greathoboes.
I liked the movie okay, but that was mostly because I like
Bill Murray so much. It's something that I'm glad I saw, but
wouldn't go out and rent to see it again or anything. Maybe
if a friend of mine was watching it, I'd sit through it. And
that's all I'll say about that, now to talk about this drawing.
It's fun to draw Bill Murray. I've done it a bunch of times
for various reasons, mostly Ghostbusters related. He's got
this pointy square head. This isn't exactly the best likeness
in the world or anything. I've never been that good at drawing
likenesses. Sometimes I just luck out. The whole background
in this piece was drawn in Photoshop. I wanted to capture
the kinds of light, almost faded colors that I remembered
from the film. And I wanted to make sure I got that bright
yellow shirt Bill Murray wore. The ragged edge of the characters
legs really bugs me now. I think I had planned to make everything
fade out that way, but didn't for some reason. I suppose I
could go back and fix it, but that just seems pointless now
